‘Sine Metu’ (meaning Without Fear) was John Jameson’s guiding philosophy.

John Jameson founded Jameson Distillery in Dublin back in 1780. Since then Jameson became the most recognizable and sold Irish Whiskey in the world to this day. John Jameson was surprisingly a Scotsman but that didn’t stop him laying the foundation for the most famous Irish Whiskey. He used to enjoy sharing a drink and a story with his workers. And to this day you'll see two barrel men balanced on either side on the bottom of the label. These two men symbolize the generations of Jameson workers, who have labored with passion and commitment to produce Irish Whiskey.
Produced in The Midleton distilleries situated in Midleton, Cork County, Jameson 18 year old has long been considered one of the brightest stars of the range. This blend of two pot still Whiskeys and a single grain is matured in Oloroso Sherry casks and finished in Bourbon wood for 6 months for a complex pot still character.

Trivia:1) John Jameson used to enjoy sharing a drink and a story with his workers, so he also shared his label with them. And to this day you'll see two barrel men balanced on either side on the bottom of the label. These two men symbolize the generations of Jameson workers, who have labored with passion and commitment to produce this Irish Whiskey.
2) A shocker - John Jameson was a Scotsman.

There are many Irish Whiskey varieties: grain Whiskey, malted barley pot-still-distilled, and ‘pure pot-still’ or ‘single pot still’ as it is now officially known. Then there is Poitin, one of the first spirits ever made.

Definetly Smooth and drinkable but it's not favorable enough to justify the price. You can get similar smooth and unoffensive whiskey at less than half the price

I received this in a sample box and now I have to purchase a bottle. The best Whiskey I have ever had. A lot going on here, so complex. Soo much flavor, yet so smooth.

It is a solid Irish whiskey but perhaps not worth the price

The taste of oak that lingers in your mouth after a sip is exquisite together with the caramel aftertaste, a perfect nightcap in my book.

Love this whiskey! Essentially, take Jameson and dial it up to 11.

Very straight forward. Strong and you can taste the you can taste the oak barrel and the bourbon hint with a vanilla sweetness at the end. Very good I really enjoyed it and this review is not off of the whole glass gone yet.

As Jameson fav I was a little disappointed but only because i felt the taste and flavor was weaker than I expected. And hoped for compared to the other Jameson’s that are offered.

This is hands down our favorite whiskey. Smooth with a little mild bite at the finish.

A very easy drink! Smooth and a little sweet to start, with a mellow finish, admittedly, I’m new to whisky drinking but I really enjoyed this. Arrived just in time to celebrate the Washington CAPS Stanley Cup win!!

Delightfully sweet at beginning and end, with a spicy kick in the middle. Smooth and wonderful!

Yum. Not a huge fan of Jameson's normally but this stuff I do like... a lot. Incredibly smooth.

Nose is fruity (apricot, banana) with underlying woody aromas and cocoa. Prominent flavors include caramel, spice (nutmeg, some white pepper), dried wood, leading into a drying finish. Body is light and very sip-able. A very solid whiskey, though I've had better at a lower price point.

It's good. It's Jameson. Nothing fantastically special, but Jameson sets the bar high in the first place.

Nothing about this sets it apart from other Jameson. My personal preference from them is the 12 yr old.

Just a fantastic drink. Enjoyed it neat and there was just a bit of spice to it.

Not as good as you might think. Don't get me wrong, its good - but its not great. Caramel and spice are nice, but there is no follow through.

Best Irish whiskey I’ve had. It’s a bottle of few words, which is why this review is so brief.
